Lovely people! Phleeease review my blog! I promise to review yours

bdw, could u suggest me a theme for my blog? i cant decide

Dear Somesh,

Here's my review.

1. Avoid the reckless usage of emoticons in your posts. Emotions are meant to be brought by the words, right? Otherwise what's the whole point in blogging? Also, it makes your blogs immature.

2. Close up images are of poor quality, as Jaidev said above.

3. The other images on the contrary are really great. Keep up the good work :)

4. Writing is good. Very nice blog layout although you could add few more plgins to make it more interactive. eg:page views etc.

keep up the good work. And if time permits give my blog a visit and ofcourse I would be happy to receive a review.

I went through your blog earlier and forgot to review it on your thread. 

You blog's got a very elegant feel to it. The layout and everything looks quite nice. 

Writing is good too. But please do re-read before posting. Sometimes when I write I tend to write "u" instead of "you" and forget about capitalizing letters. You could rectify all those as you re-read. 

Try to include more pictures in your posts. I mean the first metro ride, for instance... Even if you can't provide a picture you'd actually taken during the ride, put a pic to represent your entire post. It breaks the monotony and helps add more feel to your posts. 

I hope these comments are useful. Keep writing! :)

Somesh,

Here goes my second review :)

1. First things first, it's a very good fact that you are writing more often. You sounded kinda worried in the mail asking for a review. There is no need of that. Your blog is doing a decent job. The layout is still cool, the blog is neat and the posts still have the touch of realism.
2. The images that aren't yours like the one in the barber post- you have to give due courtesy to the source to avoid any copyright infringement problems.
3. Give an account about yourself in the blog. Few readers look for that. [I do.]
4. You don't have to give those many tags to the posts- it's like there is an entire story in the tags you provide :)
5. 5posts per page is good, the widgets are all necessary, if possible find a more fitting image for the blog.

That's all from me. The writing is good, except for the excessive usage of emoticons - I have already pointed that out in the previous review.

Happy blogging.

Oh pardon me for saying about the excessive usage of emoticons. That post I saw was from before the first review. You are going good.

-Devan

Thanx Devan :-) ! bdw, about that "about me" section, I dont know what should I write. I am always confused if it sud be a formal short account, or a playful page full of humour and like that..

could u gimme some ideas on that?

Somesh,

Sorry for being late for reply. I was not tracking this thread.

As for your question- feel free to write anything about you. You can have your personal stuff mentioned, or a shallow account of yourself, if you need your discretion. check out how others write them. [see mine too, if it helps.]

Hey Somesh...ur blog is pretty neat and simple as is ur writing :) One thing maybe u could bring the email subscription up above the recent posts,so that readers can find it first.Rest is pretty good..and the varied topics makes it interesting...keep the posts coming :)

Happy writing !

Cheers !

Cheers to u too!

Thanx for the review nd the compliment!

I changed the widget place as u said. Right now I am a bit busy, I shall be doing another couple of posts. I hope u wud like them

I really enjoyed your Why I Blog post. It was almost as if I had written it. In other words, you write in a way that people can relate to.

Underground Authority and all! jope you enjoyed a lot!

It has been a while since I got some sincere reviews of my blog. No doubt I have improved a lot (at least, I think so), and since then I have done a lot of posts.

All I am asking for, is another fresh review from anybody who maybe watching this thread . I will review urs for sure!

If first impression is the best impression, then the first photo adds beauty to your blog. Even though other photos are blured it doesn't matter since it highlights memories and friendship which adds color with your way of writing. But emotions here and there is really awkward for yellow color(emotions) somewhat distracts the flow to read. It would be a great pleasure if you comment my blog.
